Not sure how well that is going over at Royal Liverpool, seeing as how Liverpool FC has as ardent a group of supporters as any. But I give Poulter credit – if you follow him on social media, you know he catches as many Arsenal games online or on TV as possible, and he is a die-hard fan.

Seven Major League Baseball all-stars can hone their putting strokes with their new custom-made putters from Bettinardi.

Major League Baseball staged its annual All-Star Game on Tuesday in Minneapolis, and a handful of players are heading home with special golf-themed souvenirs of their big night.

Bettinardi Golf teamed up with Excel Sports Management to create custom putters for Excel's clients who were named as all-stars. The select seven are Freddie Freeman of the Atlanta Braves; Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals; Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke of the Los Angeles Dodgers; and Derek Jeter, Masahiro Tanaka, and Dellin Betances of the New York Yankees.

"Being a huge fan of baseball my whole life, I was pleased to team up with Excel Sports to make the highest end putters for some of the top baseball players in the world," said Bettinardi President and CEO Bob Bettinardi. "It displays our unique ability to not only produce putters for the PGA Tour, but also being able to expand and create these one-of-a-kind coveted gifts for all-star players."

The putters are made of Double-Aged Stainless Steel (D.A.S.S.) designed individually for each player with what Bettinardi calls a "golden-flame" finish. Each putter has its player's name festooned on the pocket and their jersey number on the face. Each flatsitck also came with a custom headcover.

If the name Excel Sports sounds familiar it you, it's probably because the company also represents a handful of golfers including Tiger Woods, Justin Rose and Matt Kuchar.

Scotty Cameron has opened a custom-fitting gallery in an old surf shop in southern California.

Scotty Cameron's putters have been among the most popular in golf for almost two decades now, but getting custom fit by Cameron and his team has been an experience generally limited to tour players.

That's about to change, though, as Cameron has just opened the Scotty Cameron Gallery in Encinitas, Calif. Located not far from Cameron's famed studio, the gallery – inside what used to be a surf shop – was created to give everyday golfers a tour-quality fitting experience.

Cameron describes his new gallery as "part retail space, part high-end product gallery, 100 percent putter fitting facility." It is his first public fitting studio in the United States, and follows his existing facilities in Japan and South Korea.

"Opening the Scotty Cameron Gallery is something I've dreamed about for a long time," he said. "I've always wanted to have a place open to the public where I can share the things that I have created and love. But above all, the gallery is a place where golfers can come to understand what is happening between the ball, the putter and the player – and how we get those three things to work in harmony."

Golfers who book a two-hour fitting session will receive a putting stroke analysis using Cameron's proprietary high-speed video tools and the expertise of his trained fitters to create a flatstick that best fits their game. Customers also can purchase an ever-changing array of rare Scotty Cameron tour putters and one-off creations, along with a variety of other merchandise.

"When people come into the gallery, we want them to feel the craftsmanship, the vibe, the experience," Cameron said. "This is a place where you come to get fit and learn about your putting stroke, but also to get something that there's only one of in the world."

The brand-new Wilson Staff 8802 putter re-issue looks exactly like its predecessor, though its stainless steel head weighs in at 335 grams, making this one lighter than before to better handle today's quicker greens.

Wilson Golf is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year – you might have noticed Ricky Barnes, Padraig Harrington and Kevin Streelman using golf bags styled like the classic Wilson Staff bags that players like Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen used back when the company dominated the golf industry.

As part of its centenary celebration, Wilson also is reviving some of its classic clubs, the most recent of which is the Staff 8802 putter. The heel-shafted blade, which debuted in 1950, is instantly recognizable to golfers of a certain age.

Arnold Palmer made it famous, but Ben Crenshaw probably made it historic – his Masters-winning "Little Ben" putter is likely the most accomplished 8802 flatstick of all time, as Crenshaw, widely regarded as one of the best putters ever, used it throughout his career. I've added a YouTube clip below in which he talks about it.

The brand-new re-issue looks exactly like its predecessor, though its stainless steel head weighs in at 335 grams, making this one lighter than before to better handle today's quicker greens. And while the original model had a smooth face, the face on this one is double milled to make it completely flat and improve its ability roll the ball steadily.

The facility includes the full range of Nike equipment and technology, and was created to give golfers of all skill levels the same custom-fitting experience that Nike provides its tour players. Golfers visiting the center also get access to Archerfield's elite coaching panel, which includes former Ryder Cup player Andrew Coltart and European Tour coach Gary Nicol.

"This incredible facility takes club fitting to another level," said Rory McIlroy, who was on hand for the grand opening. "It's so impressive that Nike is providing the consumer the same type of service that we get as Nike athletes."

Golfers looking for a complete experience can sign up for a three-day package that features full club and ball fitting, game assessment, physical fitness consultation and a playing lesson on either the Fidra or Dirleton Links at Archerfield. The cool part: You get fit for clubs on Day 1, and they're delivered in time for your on-course playing lesson. Golfers also get a distance mapping session to get familiar with their new sticks.

"Today marks a critical step in our journey as we deliver an experience designed to serve the golfer in fitting and performance," said Nike Golf President Cindy Davis. "It's not enough to simply make great product – we have to serve our consumer with world-class experiences that enable them to unlock their true potential. Our partnership with Archerfield, an authentic site located on Scotland's Golf Coast, does just that."

In addition to the two stunning courses designed by DJ Russell, the Archerfield Links Estate boasts a 17th century Mansion House with a spa (recently voted in the top-six new spas in Europe), a gym and a range of luxurious accommodations just outside Edinburgh. This facility provides easy access by road, rail and air.

Bubba Watson will wear a special Stars and Stripes-festooned pair of golf shoes on the 4th of July.

A lot of golfers wear special-edition products over the course of a season. One of the coolest things we've seen this year is the pair of shoes that Bubba Watson will wear Friday at the Greenbrier Classic.

These Fourth of July beauties are a Stars and Stripes version of the Oakley Carbon Pro 2 shoes that Watson has been wearing this year – he won the Masters in a pair three months ago.

The Carbon Pro 2 is the top of Oakley's golf shoe line. It features a waterproof full-grain leather upper with a compression-molded EVA chassis with Oakley's Red Code cushioning foam and an Ortholite foam insole. Inside are Oakley's Dynamic Motion Control and Coreflex Technology for comfort and flexibility.

The shoes feature an antimicrobial treatment to fight odor, and have a full TPU plated outsole with PINS system cleat inserts. They carry a two-year limited waterproof warranty and carry a suggested retail price of $200.

This Stars and Stripes version looks like a special edition not for public sale, but the standard models come in black, white and an ivory treatment with gray and orange accents.
